#poly posting

i need my fandom spaces to get a little more on board with polyamory

[mentally-retired]

as a polyarmous queer person i hate how a lot of queer content is inherently jealously driven

im over here like "hm? there a cute guy? omg babe slay no i dont just say yes i encourage you to kiss him babe."

like omg? my partner? has mad rizz? slay kiss all you want just give me a heads up

i wanna see more representation of that

because polyarmous love is beautiful too

its not any less loving because i have just so much love to give

we are capable of loving so many just as much as we love one, isn't queerness about unique love?

we need to celebrate polyamory more

Thinking about Todd, Paul and Billy and how introducing polyamory to their lives would have made them and me the happiest guys on earth

The worst part about being poly in fandom spaces is you can very VERY clearly see someone writing polyamory like something out of this world and poly people like "exotic" mammals of some kind that see the world completky different to the point it's like talking to a Monk about the meaning of life every time they talk and EVERYTHING ties back to polyamory w them (the same thing happening with trans tagging/fics i noticed)

The other thing being when u can clearly see someone not wanting to "leave a character out" but accualy not giving a fuck abt them in a poly ship so they beasicly write stuff focusing on character A and character B, everything is A/B but don't worry! Character C is briefly mentioned sometimes! In a way that can be read as being with them So it totally counter as poly focused

And like- lisen a little bit of it would be fine berable and stuff just happens but also by godddddd, im tiredddd im tired bosssss im tired by nooooooowwww, istg half the poly tagging on ao3 is minor focus or blink if u miss it mentioned kinda

The other other last thing is when "just pick polyamory" doesnt work for the characters- like lisen i dont like the endless fighting love triangle too but im tired of people acting like polyamory is just an easy convinience and truth be told? I don't think alot of characters put in that "convinient polyamory" boxes would accualy work as a polycue but thats a long topic for another day and im writing this at midnight on sleeping medication sooo-

hello what is a hinge thank you for your time

a hinge is a polyamory term for a certain type of relationship ! I'll draw a diagram

so like in this type of relationship, partner 1 and 2 are both dating the hinge, but are not dating each other, therefore making a V shape that resembles a hinge :)

So big announcement ig! I'm pregnant! I'm around 8 weeks rn.

The one thing nobody talks about is the absolute weird ability to smell shit from like a block away. Going on a walk and being able to smell the honeysuckle in a neighbor's backyard that I couldnt smell before, or someone burning their food two apartments over. Or driving by a restaurant and being able to guess what we passed with my eyes closed. And don't get me started on things smelling different now. I bought decaf (because I'm off caffeine even not pregnant) and the smell of coffee brewing has been the worst smell so far. Immediately nauseated.

My mom always said cooking meat did her and the women of that side of the family was the "morning sickness" trigger, and I'm so lucky it's not the case for me. Just coffee and onions. Which onions are even weird, I can have onion soup or onions in sauce, but the smell of them cooking in butter makes me feel so ill.

My fiance has been an angel with everything, from anxiety to nausea to endless fatigue. Our partner has been amazing too, taking me to my appointments and getting/making me my cravings. They're both so excited to be fathers and to be involved in helping me through this process and I couldn't be luckier. I'm happy that I can expirence this time with the two of them.

This dude doesn’t even know I want to kiss them full on the mouth 🙄

Why is it so hard to find someone to date. Like, I know the answer is that dating apps set you up for failure, but shit dude. Meanwhile, my wife is getting matches left and right; I know I married up, but shit lol I didn't realize how far up apparently.
